Episode 73
The remark came out.
On the way back, the leader was silent.
I looked at his back.
A great master who I cannot compete with at this point.
Besides, one word from him would set the entire martial arts world in motion.
The reason he reaches out to the Beast Palace is simple.
Just as I want to protect the South, the leader also wants to protect the Central Plains.
Anyway, I got some important information.
Soon a great danger will engulf the world like a tidal wave.
I don’t know where the first direction will be.
Almost at the time of arriving at the battle of Mengzhou.
I ran into them.
“Oh my, I see you here, my lord. I was on my way to see you anyway.”
A middle-aged man with a round face stepped forward and greeted the leader with a bright smile.
Jegal So-hye, who was nearby, whispered quietly.
“The author is Baek Myeong-gyeong, the eldest son of Baekga Jang.”
The leader responded happily, as if he had met a close friend he had not seen in a long time.
“Your Majesty, Baek Jang-ju, your steps are difficult. I have been waiting for you.”
How could I not know Baek Myeong-gyeong, who is called the best of the Jeongpa?
Baek Myeong-gyeong, the head of Baekga Jang.
He is the true pinnacle of the sect, and perhaps the absolute best in the world, rivaling the current leader of the Demonic Cult, Donggunwi.
Even though they don’t show it on the outside, there is an aura that cannot be hidden among experts.
The climax has long since passed and it must have reached a climax… … .
If you look at it only from a technical standpoint, he’s the best I’ve ever met.
But a fight isn’t decided by level alone.
I imagined my father, considered one of the best warriors in the Beast Palace, fighting Iza.
I don’t think it will be easy.
Of course, it would be difficult to win.
“So you’re that guy. I heard a lot from the patrol leader here on the way here. He praised you so much that my mouth was worn out. Haha.”
Baek Myeong-gyeong’s gaze turned towards me.
“Yes. I am Dam-myeong from the Beast Palace.”
Only now did I notice the person standing behind Baek Myeong-gyeong.
Baek Mu-gyeom, the head of Baek Family.
Unlike Baek Myeong-gyeong, who has a friendly impression, he has a sharp impression.
Without even trying to hide his power.
I heard that it just reached its peak, but it’s different from what I heard… … ?
A prayer like that would be considered a ripe climax.
It seems that he is not someone with the skills to easily face off against in tomorrow’s match.
I tried not to draw out the dragon’s power if possible.
“I am Baek Mu-gyeom, the head of Baek Family. I have easily defeated all my opponents so far, right? Tomorrow will probably be different. I will properly show the power of the Central Plains.”
“Everyone who has ever said something like that has gone home crying.”
The corners of Baek Moo-gyeom’s mouth strangely went up at my answer.
The look on his face like a child who has found a fun toy.
As I made eye contact with Baek Mu-gyeom, my gaze suddenly turned to someone quietly watching me from behind.
An ordinary man you might pass by on the street or sit next to at a restaurant.
But it looks familiar… … .
It is clear that there was someone who came looking for Salmakju in the past.
It must be Eunrim… … .
* * *
The last day of the Yongbong branch.
The most notable characters before the Yongbong branch meeting, Pangga and Dangga, have already returned home.
Even the warriors who were recognized in the Mang were all defeated.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that it was a boring event.
However, the reason everyone is excited is because they are looking forward to seeing the skills of Baek Ga Jang’s So Ga Ju for the first time.
Of course, the fact that the opponent was me also played a part.
“Oh. Is the head of the Baek family finally going to show up in the world of martial arts? That’s Baek Mu-gyeom, the greatest genius in the history of the Central Plains.”
“I heard a rumor that it had reached its peak a while ago, but today I saw that it was wrong.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you know why the one sword of Zhongzhou, Yeom Ho-gwang, has kept his mouth shut since his fight with Baek Mu-gyeom?”
“That’s what I’m saying. Look at that relaxed expression. Is that the look of someone who has just reached the peak? I don’t know for sure, but I’m sure he’s already surpassed the level of the masters who rule over a region. And he’s only in his early years.”
“But didn’t we see with our own eyes the skills of this guy named Dam-myeong? If I had to bet money, I’d bet it on him.”
“That’s true. Damyeong is a monster too. I heard that there are monsters like that running around the Beast Palace. If they put their mind to it, they could easily eat up someone like Yunnan.”
It seemed like everyone in the group had gathered.
The leaders of the alliance, including the leader, had already taken their seats at the top table.
Of course, right next to the leader, Baek Mu-gyeom, the leader of the sect, was smiling as usual.
“It’s always fun to watch the young warriors perform martial arts, isn’t it? Your Majesty.”
“I have high expectations for Sogaju’s skills, which are said to be the best among the later indices.”
“Oh my. I hope the leader isn’t disappointed by my mediocre skills.”
Looking at Baek Myeong-gyeong, who was smiling brightly, the leader of the group, Murong Cheon, was lost in thought.
‘What kind of expression is behind that smiling face? I can’t read his mind. That makes me even more scared… ‘
Not only does Baek Myeong-gyeong have the martial arts skills to become the best in the world, but Baek Ga-jang also has the wealth he has accumulated over time.
Based on that power, he built up a tremendous force in a short period of time.
So much so that even the leader of the Murim Alliance himself would have a hard time dealing with him.
‘Since this much has been revealed, we must assume that Eunrim’s hidden power is even more incredible.’
At that moment, Baek Myeong-gyeong, sitting next to him, opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty, everyone is waiting.”
The leader turned his gaze towards the stage.
Two people were seen waiting for the start of the fight.
Now is the moment when the final battle of the Yongbong branch will take place.
The leader stood up from his seat.
The noisy area around the stage suddenly became quiet.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
“The finals of the Yongbongjihoe martial arts competition will now begin!”
The area around the stage, no, the entire Murim Alliance, became heated up.
* * *
Baek Moo-gyeom slowly examined the opponent in front of him.
‘It feels like I’m facing a wild bear… … .’
That was the first thought that came to mind when I encountered Dammyeong.
Tall and big build.
There must be solid muscles lurking inside that uniform.
‘The power will definitely be enormous… … .’
It is said that he put Peng Zhao, who was unfolding the Oho Danmundo, to sleep with one punch, and pulled Dang Wi-myeong’s side with one hand while he was poisoned.
It means that you can’t fight back with force.
‘What about swordsmanship? I don’t think anyone would carry around a sword that big just for show.’
Even so, it is just a sword wielded by an ignorant savage.
He has the best martial arts skills in the world.
A place where all the drones in the world can be placed under one’s feet.
The father, the owner of the house, said that it was not yet time to reveal it.
“Do the people of the Central Plains originally think that much before a fight?”
Dam-myeong opened his mouth.
He had a very relaxed expression on his face for someone who had come up to fight against the world’s best sogaju.
“Haha. Please understand that I met an unexpected opponent. Anyway, will it be decided by the result of today’s non-combat? Who is stronger between the Central Plains and the Southern Plains?”
“Does that mean you represent the Central Plains? That doesn’t seem like much of a deal.”
“Hehe. I’m starting to get more and more interested in this place called Namman Beast Palace. Anyway, let’s talk about the rest after the ceremony is over.”
At that moment, the leader sitting at the top of the table stood up and announced the start of the fight.
Now it is time to decide the final winner of the Yongbongjihoe Martial Arts Competition.
Sling.
Baek Mu-gyeom pulled out his sword and spoke to Dam-myeong.
“I am Baek Mu-gyeom, the head of the Baek family, the best in the world.”
A bitter smile appeared on Dam-myeong’s lips.
“The best in the world… … . Well, the world you speak of doesn’t include Namman. If we defeat you, will our Beast Palace become the best in the world?”
The eyes of the two young warriors representing the Central Plains and the Southern Plains clashed fiercely.
* * *
Baek Myeong-gyeong’s expression as she looked at the two people offstage from the upper seat was slightly stiff.
‘I don’t feel good.’
An unexpected character appeared.
‘It’s called Damyeong… … .’
It’s not just because of the upcoming military parade.
There is no way that his own son, Baek Mu-gyeom, would lose in something as simple as the Yongbongjihoe’s secret battle.
That guy also learned his martial arts.
There is no sword technique in this world that can break the sword of the Thousand-Year-Old Emperor.
The reason Baek Myeong-gyeong felt uneasy now was because of the news she heard when she came to the Murim Alliance.
‘You said that the guy from the Beast Palace had a picture of a large black dragon drawn on his shoulder.’
I heard that in the faraway Namman Beast Palace, they carve all sorts of marks.
A engraving in the shape of all kinds of wild beasts.
But for some reason, I didn’t feel good.
Why the dragon’s imprint?
Baekgajang is just one branch that extends from Eunrim.
Although he may seem like the best in the world on the outside, he is actually just one of the many masters of Eunrim.
His will to purify the world in the past was blocked by a man called Dark Dragon Emperor.
Not much is known about him.
But one thing is certain.
Four dragons covering the entire body.
Of course, Dam-myeong only has a black dragon carved into it.
‘no way…….’
Baek Myeong-gyeong, who was making an absurd assumption, heard the voice of the leader.
“What are you thinking so deeply about, Baek Jang-ju?”
“Haha. That kid named Dammyeong seems to have a great aura. He seems to have something other than just his size and strength… … What did you think, Your Majesty? You must have seen all the secrets that have been going on.”
The leader paused for a moment and then answered with an expression that said nothing.
“Even so, isn’t he just a young warrior from the outside world? Don’t rely on your strength alone. The head of the Baek family will show you the true power of the Central Plains.”
At the leader’s formal answer, Baek Mu-gyeom turned his gaze back to the stage.
‘I don’t think it’s good. It might be better to cut off the ominous sprouts in advance… ‘
* * *
Sling.
Baek Moo-gyeom drew his sword first.
In accordance with that, Dam-myeong also pulled out rock salt.
Two people’s swords.
That alone changed the air around them in an instant.
“This time it won’t be easy.”
Nok Seung-seo, who had been watching, quietly opened his mouth.
“What are you talking about? Are you saying that Dam-myeong is going to lose?”
Umochi asked back.
“No way. But there’s something different about that guy. Look at him. Have you ever seen anything like this?”
For some reason, the tofu in his arms was crouching with its tail down and its head buried in it.
“Ugh”
A scene you’ve never seen before.
“This guy is scared of Tofu. He’s playing with a wild bear the size of a house like it’s a toy.”
“Hmm. Does that guy seem to have something going on?”
“Let’s get started!”
The moment when the two people turn their gaze towards the stage.
Kwaaang!
A huge explosion, accompanied by thick clouds of dust, resonated throughout the area.
It was just one collision.
Neither of us gave it our all.
On the stage where the dust had settled, two people stood far apart.
Dam-myeong already had rock salt in his hands.
This means that it was an attack that had to be blocked with a sword.
Tadah!
Baek Moo-gyeom went on the offensive once again.
Chaeng, chaeng, bang. Kwakwang.
The sound of swords clashing reverberated through the area.
After the flashing sword light that obscured their vision disappeared, the two would switch positions.
Not only was his bravery in blocking all the sword strikes that were difficult to follow with the eyes amazing, but Baek Moo-gyeom was also surprising in that he was not at all affected by the power of the large sword he swung.
A fierce battle between the later indices that is hard to call a duel.
“No, what the hell is going on? Can you see it?”
Umochi asked, roughly wiping the sweat from his hands.
Nok Seung-seo answered without taking his eyes off the stage.
“Shhh! This is where it gets real!”
